Ineffable Husbands really is that ship that has it all. They’re married. They’re divorced. They’ve never been together at all. They’ve been pining for 6000 years. They’re gay except they’re also not at all. They’re technically enemies to lovers but they’ve never been enemies nor lovers. Name any fanfic trope, they’ve probably been there, done that and they were entirely oblivious about it. Incredible ship.

Birds of a feather...

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

Give it to me Miyazaki style señor Gaiman I’m waiting

fanfic is so good bc the premise of some genres of fic are just inherently funny. I want these two grizzled crime drama protagonists to have some fucking fun for once, so they go to a water park. I dont care how i have to logic my way into them going there i dont care who has to drag them Theyre Going

but also the exact opposite. put these two sitcom lighthearted romcom protagonists in the middle of a cannibalistic serial killer rampage. i want them to suffer. no more episodic skipping around consequences. Spongebob must face God.

if i see a single one of you pissed that your faves canceled an event or a con appearance because they're striking for fair wages then imma come for you in your sleep 🔪🔪🔪

(direct that fury where it belongs: AMPTP and the execs)

malala being the icon that she is 😭

don’t go where i can’t follow

Reblog if reading someone else’s fanfiction has helped you get through a hard day

Robin Buckley is one of the greatest characters of all time. She is a lesbian. She speaks four languages. She's in band. Her parents are hippies. She's neurodivergent. She translated and cracked a super-secret Russian code in a day. She talks a lot. She fucked up Prom once. The most popular guy at school confessed to her and then became her bestie when she rejected him and he drives her to school every day even though he graduated already because she doesn't have a driving license (she's poor). She is a weird runner. She figured out music could help against Vecna and saved Max. She's clumsy. She gives great dating advice. She sucks at flirting though. She's funny. She's super smart. She's a dumbass. She's a loser. She's great. Character of all time.

Good Omens season 3 spoilers, trust me🕯️🕯️🕯️
